Cloud Hosting Services are known as the cheapest and most reliable web hosting solutions over the internet. Scalability, flexibility and affordability are the three main features that surpass every other technology in web hosting when we talk about Cloud computing and website hosting over the clouds. Shared Cloud Hosting services almost resemble the traditional shared hosting technique but they reach more avenues in web hosting.
Shared Cloud Hosting offers so many goodies that can enhance the business prospect of any web master. The services rendered by a shared cloud are usually known as shared cloud hosting. In a shared cloud hosting service, facilities are delivered from a system that is powered through a software platform, which doesn’t create isolated virtual instances. Name based or OP based virtual hosting cloud accounts share the computing resources of all servers that are part of the system. Cloud computing resources like scalability, redundancy, flexibility are available within a network environment for a shared cloud hosting set up.

In a shared cloud server you get load balancing both for the IP based as well as name based virtual hosting accounts. These shared cloud accounts utilize the benefits of load balancing, along with Web, DB, FTP and HTTP, to run across all the servers linked with the cloud system.
A shared cloud hosting stands for shared hosting model that depicts the scenario; where all virtual hosting accounts share, a single stand-alone server’s resources within the cloud, in a multi-server set up.
Let’s put some light over the advantages of Cloud Shared hosting services offered to clients;
Shared Cloud Server is very scalable, offering the clients to scale up or down resources in a 24X7 environment.
Shared cloud hosting is cost effective compared to virtual clouds. Service providers allocate specific amount of resources with a fixed rental in a monthly basis within shared hosting but clients pay when they require more resources.
Within the shared cloud hosting environment clients don’t manage the cloud servers and hence don’t pay the license fee for using various software applications.
Traffic fluctuations are smoothly handled by these cloud hosting servers at peak hours as well as server break downs, without causing any trouble for the accounts hosted across the cloud.
Open source applications work within the standard hosting environment provided by the clouds.
The standardized environment allows all the clients to work over the same software environment.
The loopholes associated with shared cloud servers are as follows;
Software applications can only be used in a shared cloud server, in case the service provider adds it to the system.
No root access to the cloud server is available in a shared cloud hosting account.
Interruptions and restrictions occur when any technical issue is raised, hampering the services allotted to that shared cloud account.
Shared cloud computing dents allow the client to have dedicated resources like other virtual instances over the web.
